Renegade

Renegades are individuals that play as a more negative or ruthless Commander Shepard. Renegade points are gained through mean, cruel, and merciless actions. When making a Renegade action/decisions a red shade will come on the screen. These actions are seen as more negative and will make Commander Shepard more feared and cutthroat. When acting as a renegade you will begin to become feared and more characters and squad members will dislike and become discontent with you (however some squad members like a more ruthless captain). A Renegade can strike fear and panic in other characters and lead to special conversations, decisions, and choices. Renegades can also unlock the Intimidate ability. Intimidate is an ability that can be ranked up and allows Commander Shepard to have more negative dialogue options during conversations and the story. Also, the higher your intimidate ability the more ruthless Commander Shepard's facial features become. More scars, scratches, and changes in eye color will occur as you become a more evil and renegade player.
